Bespoke tales ~ Anjali's anklets

While I am talking about custom orders how can I NOT write about the customised anklets for a dear friend Anjali. Anjali was in India in the month of November and had already booked a lot of earrings. So I kept asking her if I should send them over to her home in India and she replied saying she wanted to look at more stuff.
She looked and looked and finally told me she did not want more earrings. She wanted anklets instead. And customised with colours of her choice. Knowing her love for English colours I sent her these pics...

She picked pastels beads and silver wire combination. Just around then my mom went on vacation to Kerala leaving me to look after her grandson. Yes that's how it is- I look after her grandson when she is on vacation. :P
So Anjali's order looked a bit difficult but how could I say NO??? So every afternoon I waited to put my son to sleep and sat with my box of beads. Just when I would sense him waking up, my reflexes would work at high speed and I would pack up my tools and beads before he knew what was going on. Thankfully I managed to complete her order and send it over to her before she left. Another school friend Manideepa who now lives very close to where Anjali stays had ordered another bunch of earrings too. I was very thrilled packing their accessories and marking the bubble wrap covers with an A and an M. :)
I did not get enough time to take good pictures. Here are some I took hastily...

But then Anjali volunteered to be my 'foot model' - a term she coined and sent me these pictures she took on her vacation in Peurto Rico. Aren't they sexy? And very professional looking too. :) :)
